About our bath re-enamelling in Sibson
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Repairing versus replacing in Sibson
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sibson. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Sibson
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
